Care Provider Solutions

Care Provider Solutions We know that "winging it doesn't work - systems do". Hello! Welcome to Care Provider Solutions! My name is Nadine Carlson.

Care Provider Solutions teaches simple systems to licensed AFC Michigan providers & those desiring to open a facility so they have less stress and ultimately can provide better care to their residents. My passion is to help owners and operators reduce the stress associated with running and operating Specialized Licensed Adult Foster Care (AFC) homes. I understand running an AFC home and providing

care can be overwhelming. My multiple years of experience running award-winning homes have given me an in-depth understanding of many common issues AFC residential assisted living homes face. My approach is friendly, kind and unassuming. I listen carefully to your pain points to determine which of my services and systems will meet your needs. Using this experience, I am known as very diligent in identifying what is working, what is broken, what is confusing and what is missing in the organization. I will support your team to find creative solutions to address items in each of those categories while monitoring their effectiveness so you can focus on what matters most, providing the best care to your residents. There is no AFC question or topic that is viewed as off-limits. I understand very clearly providing excellent resident care while attending to hiring and retaining staff, maintaining compliance, a budget and many other things can feel overwhelming. My colleagues refer to me as a responsible person. I take this quality seriously to help owners and operators run an organization without fear of finding and keeping staff, always being ready for inspections, knowing resources and having enough money to make payroll and cover other expenses. In an industry where many homes are closing, I will use my insights to guide you to run efficient homes, and maintain compliance with a profit margin so you can focus on enriching and enhancing your life, your staff lives and the lives of the residents in your homes.

Here's a shift worth paying attention to: culture has just overtaken pay as the #1 reason senior living employees stick around.

That's according to Argentum's newest workforce report, developed in partnership with Activated Insights. In a new interview with Senior Housing News, our VP of Customer Operations, Kire Madsen, breaks down what's really driving that change and why the operators who treat retention as a data problem, not just a staffing problem, are the ones pulling ahead.

Kire explains what it's like sitting on both sides of the table, watching employee feedback and retention numbers move together, and why that connection is rarely a coincidence.

Curious what's really behind the retention numbers in your organization? Read the full interview here: https://seniorhousingnews.com/2026/08/16/voices-kire-madsen-vp-of-customer-operations-activated-insights/

Your AFC should give you more than income. It should give you options.

The freedom to take a vacation without your phone becoming your lifeline. To step away for a week without worrying who will handle the next call-off. To spend more time with family, travel, or plan your next chapter.

That freedom starts with the business you’re building today: clear roles, strong systems, the right people, and processes that don’t depend on you for every decision.

Build the business. Build the plan. Build the freedom.

Join us at the 2026 Scaling Up Conference, October 22–23 in East Lansing, and take the next step toward a stronger, more sustainable AFC operation.
